Oh Man! This is the BEST bread pudding!!! I don't make it very often because I will eat the whole freakin' pan!!!

1 loaf french bread
2 quarts low fat milk
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 T vanilla
1/4 lb unsalted butter - melted
1 1/2 cup raisins

Soak french bread in milk. Crush till well mixed. Beat eggs in separate bowl, gradually add sugar, vanilla, stir will. Add raisins. Pour butter in bottom of baking pan. Add egg mix to bread and milk and blend until bread is soaked through. Pour into baking pan. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.

Now for the BEST part:

Whiskey Sauce
1/4 lb unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup whiskey.

Melt butter in pan and stir in sugar over medium heat. Beat the egg (just a little ) in a dish, add a little of the heated butter/sugar to egg and stir. Then stir egg mix into butter/sugar and mix well. Add the whiskey and cook over medium heat till thickened. Pour over bread pudding.

Now, let me tell you, I am not a whiskey drinker, don't care for the taste - but this sauce is to DIE FOR on bread pudding!

Gayle, I know Gina ask for it, but thank you for sharing. I was hoping someone would post a really good recipe. I love bread pudding. My mother used to make it, but she made two sauces. A wine sauce for the grownups, and a vanilla pudding sauce for me. I'll have to try your recipe, and may even make the whiskey sauce since I'm all grown up now.

My grandmas always made bread pudding too - out of the leftover homemade bread she made every few days. WOW! Was it ever good. I don't know what kind of sauce she made, probably a vanilla sauce.

One thing that we thought was funny, when our oldest daughter went off to college in Arkansas, some of the people from the church would invite the college students over to their homes for food and fellowship. One of the ladies served bread pudding. Our daughter was delighted, but very surprized that lots of the students from states outside the south did not know what it was. Bread Pudding??? What is that?? Some were afraid to try it.

A year of private university in Arkansas cost a bunch and only yeilded 6 transferrable credits, but she learned a lot from the experience. There were students there from all over the country and the world.

Bread pudding, Yuuuuummmm!!!
